Weaning

As your child grows older, you will begin to notice a big difference in your child’s eating habits. At this age, it is common for children to begin eating less, while becoming selective about what they eat.

At the age of six months, your child will begin to show signs of readiness for the transition to first solid foods.

At 6 months old, your growing child will begin to need more to meet their nutritional needs.

Your child’s nutritional needs should be varied in a balanced baby diet that provides energy and support your child’s rapid growth.

During your child’s growing years, it is important to have the right amount of nutrients to support that growth. Macronutrients are nutrients required in big quantities for our bodies.

Every day you give your child three meals and a snack or two. That’s four to five “plates” in which to provide your growing child all the micronutrients he needs to grow healthy to develop as he should.

As the saying goes, you are what you eat. That saying is especially true for young children. The right nutrition during early childhood can have an important impact on a child’s ability to grow, learn and have a more prosperous future.

As a parent, you may be often worried about whether your child is getting enough iron daily. However, on the other hand, you may also be concerned about providing too much iron for your child.
